The Chinese came to the Caribbean as Indentured Servants after slavery was abolished. With them came their cuisine and this dish can be found in Jamaica, Trinidad and Guyana, where large Chinese communities exist to this day.


Ingredients:

* 2 lb Chinese egg noodles
* 1 chicken breast boiled in salted water and shredded
* 7 cloves garlic minced
* ½ tsp fresh ginger minced
* 2 tbs soy sauce

* ¼ tsp salt
* pinch MSG (optional)
* 1 can (16 oz) mixed vegetables
* 3 tbs vegetable oil
* vegetable oil cooking spray


Method:
Boil the noodles in salted water for 3 minutes, then drain and rinse under running water. Coat with cooking spray to prevent them from sticking together.
